Discover your purpose.
Alphacrucis is Australia’s largest Christian university college. We train teachers, pastors, counsellors, business leaders, and creatives to work from what they believe, because the world needs people who do their job for a reason bigger than themselves.
You don’t need an ATAR to start. Coming straight from Year 12 takes 20 to 25% off your fees. And we believe you were made for something. Let’s work out what.
Don't take our word for it.
Every year the Australian Government surveys students and graduates at every university and college and publishes the results on ComparED. These are the Alphacrucis undergraduate figures.

“Since I felt the call to ministry, I knew that my next step after high school was to study through Alphacrucis. Receiving a high ATAR (94.5) didn’t change my decision as I have learnt that God can and will use me in ways that I won’t expect or understand.”
Get your offer before your exams.
Year 12 is stressful enough without waiting until December to find out where you’re going. Early Entry gives you a conditional offer based on your school reports and a short personal statement, not an ATAR. Sit your exams knowing your place is settled.
The short version
- Who: Year 12 students in Australia. Year 11 can apply too.
- Assessed on: school reports and a personal statement. No ATAR.
- Offers: released from 1 September.
- Cost: no application fee.
- Bonus: the same application assesses you for a scholarship.
25% off your fees. No form to fill in.
Come straight from Year 12 and your tuition is reduced from your first subject. Graduates of partner Christian schools get 25% off through the Build a Bridge Scholarship. Everyone else gets 20% through the NextGen Scholarship. We assess it when we assess your application.
Build a Bridge Scholarship
Graduating from a partner Christian school? Your Year 12 report tells us. Nothing extra to do.
NextGen Scholarship
Graduating from any other school in Australia or overseas? This one’s yours.
Studying teaching?
Our education degrees have Commonwealth Supported Places. The government pays most of your fees, and the scholarship covers a large part of what’s left. For many students that means little or no tuition to pay. Ask us to run the numbers for your situation.
Both scholarships cover the standard duration of your first course and work alongside FEE-HELP. Terms and eligibility are on the scholarships page.
“I’m doing what I love, which is helping and supporting young people in schools practically and emotionally. I am now leading a team of chaplains who are making a big difference in young people’s lives.”
